STOCKHOLM - Sweden announced its highest daily tally of novel coronavirus infections on Thursday , a record 1,474 new cases that authorities said was due to a long-delayed surge in testing.
Thursday's figure took the total number of infections to 48,300 - though the Public Health Agency said the number of deaths was slowing. "It has been a slow upturn, but now it seems that the effect of increased testing is becoming clear." Deaths in Sweden caused by the disease have gradually declined from peak levels in mid-April of about 100 per day with the seven-day rolling average hitting 37 per day at the beginning of June, Tegmark-Wisell said.
